Archie School District will be allowing the student body to view the solar eclipse that will take place in our area on Monday August 21st. PTO has provided safety glasses for all students and staff who want to participate. Parents MUST sign a permission slip allowing their students to participate. Below is a link to view with information on staying safe while viewing the eclipse.
Eclipse Safety
From NASA (https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety) -
Looking directly at the sun is unsafe except during the brief total phase of a solar eclipse (“totality”), when the moon entirely blocks the sun’s bright face, which will happen only within the narrow path of totality (https://go.nasa.gov/2pC0lhe.
Archie will not experience totality.
